Les Moore Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) This is basically a short run model. Not a lot of detail inside of out. Raised panel lines and a so-so fit on some parts. My issue had an abundance of flash and some broken parts. The model was re-scribed and the scheme "borrowed". Painted with Floquil Platinum mist and Model Master Insignia red. Only the kit's wing walk decals were used. All other decals are from various "spares" sheets. /media/ .jpg.html][/url] Edited April 25, 2013 by Les Moore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 That's lovely -- what a great build of a so-so kit. Very cool colour scheme, and a pleasant change from all of those C-47s... bestest, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Excellent build of a model you seldom see at all or even finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Looks great Maybe needs a little weathering to set it off - exhaust staining possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 That's a great looking build! Having done one or two WB kits, I can imagine the issues you had. Beautiful a/c, criminally under-represented in all scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Nice model. Well done. I like the clean look, From what I've read the quality of the real things wasn't that good either. Flying 'the hump' pilots reported getting very wet in the monsoon season. Yet I've seen pics of some still operating in South America.

Screech Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Nice job Les! Great paint scheme! From the looks of the pictures it turned out rather well. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vingtor Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Nice model! I have a kit which I plan to convert to the CW-20 prototype, which was used by BOAC during WW2. I have to make a set of correct decals as well, though. Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troschi Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 lovely built of this rather uncommon type. I recently achieved to get one of this rather crude kit from Rebell Hobby in Sweden. Better than Mach2 anyway. Mine will be a JASDF calibration aircraft with Flying Papa's decals one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lovely model. According to the Buffalo aircrew on "Ice Pilots", these babies are a bit tricky to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabo31 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi Les! Now it's finish and what I see is a very good Model. I like the paint scheme and of course your very accurate and clean build. Regards, Udo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
